Aethiomastacembelus Ellipsifer??

[Taz2478]

Looking into another not so well known (on the internet at least) Tangy. Its an eel.

http://www.tropheus.info/riftlakes/cichlids/aethiomastacembelus_ellipsifer_e.html is all I found.
Any one got one/some and can share some extra info? Dont even see it in the tangy books except for a pic of a nice blue/purple one.

Never had one but here is some info on a different type. I believe there is some info on them in a TFH issue but I will have to look for you.

yeah, its an article basically on eels and they get a mention but nothing too informative. uess i get to my own research on these. Even soem other forums noone knows anything and point to the same places.

I hope I get one like Ive seen in books with blue and not the brown.

Nope, not too much informative on that one:
Max 18 inches, about 80g tank, fine gravel or sand. Feed with shrimp-mix. They'll probably thrive in the same type of water like other fishes from Tanganyika.
